About the job

Altered State Machine (ASM) are creating the world’s first protocol for decentralised and democratised Artificial Intelligence, owned and traded using NFTs, and interoperable across the Metaverse. Our protocol enables anyone to own AI, and the machine learning models that define what it learns over time. These are paired with artwork in the form of NFT's to create non-player agents.

We're creating a world where everyone can own, understand, trust and benefit from their AI. Join us in building the #OpenMetaverse. Help to push the boundaries of future innovation.

As VP of Game Production you'll be responsible for the ASM game production practice. All game delivery is driven by the Strategic Product Roadmap and is considered to be Product, but the Discovery Process and MVP Proposal process differ when designing and producing game.

• Grow and nurture a culture of Game Production amongst your team of Producers
• Support and continuously improve the way we design and prototype game concepts in our Product Discovery Process; the way our Producers take initiatives from the Strategic Product Roadmap and collaborate with creative and technical leads to produce concise and well researched GDDs, Prototypes and MVP Proposals back to the council for consideration
• Collaborate with the other VPs, Initiative Leads, Product Managers and Producers to formulate accurate Delivery Plans that execute on the Strategic Product Roadmap
